JERRY kept his place among the cushions in the cabin when Hazlit Jen went out to moor the boat. But he had no intention of leaving the officer unwatched.
The Earthman watched through a porthole while Hazlit Jen tied the boat to the dock and walked to the tower doorway. As soon as the officer entered, Jerry strolled unconcernedly out on the deck and across the dock after him. Guards were stationed at regular intervals along the dock, as well as upon the black wall, and in the open windows of the tower. And there were four swift patrol boats of Kalsivar anchored at equidistant points across the canal, facing four similar boats belonging to Xancibar.
